The Moyer Foundation was established in 2000 by one of our favorite Phillies pitchers – Jamie Moyer and his wife Karen. The Foundation has raised more than $17 million to support over 170 different organizations in Philadelphia and across the country. The Moyer Foundation’s mission is to offer encouragement, comfort and support to children enduring a time of profound distress – whether physical, emotional, or financial and to provide opportunities for enhancing overall wellness, stability and quality of life. 100% of personal and dedicated donations go directly back to the children and programs funded by The Moyer Foundation.

In addition to providing grants, The Foundation created and funds several key initiatives and community partnerships including the largest and furthest reaching – Camp Erin. Camp Erin is a free bereavement camp designed for children ages 6-17 who have experienced the death of a family member or friend. It is a weekend-long camp experience filled with traditional, fun, outdoor activities combined with grief education and emotional support. Bereavement professionals, licensed counselors and trained volunteers lead age appropriate groups through clinical bereavement activities such as art therapy, journaling, planned discussions and remembrance ceremonies. These activities give grieving youth the opportunity to process and validate their feelings while interacting with peers also dealing with loss.
